At Clinique dentaire David Cote, the focus is on partnering with you to achieve significant improvements in your oral health, address your specific dental concerns, and help you attain your desired smile. Dr Eid frequently works with patients towards outcomes such as:

• When patients discuss their child needing preventative dental sealants applied to their newly erupted permanent molars to protect against cavities, Dr Eid outlines a path to their old, uncomfortable dental bridge being replaced with a well-fitting and aesthetic new one, aiming to restore not just oral health but also the ability to comfortably easily flossing and brushing without encountering pain or bleeding from their gums.
• When a specific tooth that had become very sensitive to sweet foods or drinks, which was a new symptom for them begins to noticeably impact daily life and well-being, Dr Eid helps patients strive for the bump or swelling on their gums being diagnosed and appropriately treated, resolving their worry. This makes participating in activities such as maintaining fresh breath, which improves their social and professional interactions a pleasant and possible experience again.
• Dr Eid often consults with patients whose an interest in straightening their teeth but a strong preference for avoiding traditional metal braces, exploring clear aligner options significantly limits their enjoyment of feeling comfortable with close-up interactions and conversations or impacts their self-confidence. The clear goal of care is to achieve their knocked-out tooth being successfully reimplanted and saved thanks to prompt emergency care and thereby restore their active and healthy lifestyle.
• The primary focus for patients seeking help for wondering if their child might need braces or orthodontic assessment for crooked teeth at Dr Eid's practice is consistently achieving the gap between their front teeth being attractively closed, boosting their confidence. This facilitates a confident and meaningful return to valued daily activities such as attending social events and family dinners without worrying about denture stability or food getting trapped.

Your personalized dental treatment plan, developed in consultation with Dr Eid, will be carefully designed to help you reach your specific functional, aesthetic, and overall wellness objectives. Dr Eid is committed to empowering patients with the information and high-quality care needed to achieve and maintain a healthy, confident smile for life.

Do I need a referral to see a general dentist like Dr Eid?

Typically, a referral is not required to schedule an appointment with a general dentist. Patients are welcome to contact Clinique dentaire David Cote directly to arrange their visit with Dr Eid.

What should I expect during my first dental visit with Dr Eid at Clinique dentaire David Cote?

Your first visit with Dr Eid will typically involve a comprehensive dental examination. This includes a review of your medical and dental history, a thorough check of your teeth, gums, jaw, and soft tissues (including an oral cancer screening), and any necessary X-rays. Dr Eid will discuss their findings, address your concerns, and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan if any care is needed. Often, a professional cleaning will also be performed or scheduled during this visit or a subsequent one.

How often should I (or my child) visit Dr Eid for a check-up and cleaning?

For most adults and children, preventative check-ups and cleanings are generally recommended every six months. However, Dr Eid will recommend a personalized schedule based on your individual oral health needs, risk factors for cavities or gum disease, and any existing conditions. For example, some patients may need more frequent visits (every 3-4 months) if managing active gum disease or at high risk for cavities, while others with excellent long-term oral health might have slightly longer intervals between appointments. It is crucial to follow Dr Eid's specific recommendation for your optimal oral health.

Are dental X-rays safe, and how often are they needed?

Dental X-rays are very safe, especially modern digital X-rays which use minimal radiation. Protective lead aprons are used to further minimize any potential exposure. X-rays are only taken when diagnostically necessary, such as for new patients, to check for decay between teeth, assess bone health, or plan more complex treatments. Dr Eid will determine the frequency based on your individual oral health, risk factors, and dental history, adhering to guidelines like ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable).

Is dental treatment generally covered by provincial health plans like Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ) in QC?

In Quebec, provincial health plans like RAMQ typically do NOT cover most routine or major dental procedures performed in private dental clinics. Some limited dental surgeries performed in a hospital setting might be covered. Most dental care costs are paid out-of-pocket by patients or through private dental insurance plans (often provided by employers) or government assistance programs for eligible groups (e.g., children from low-income families, seniors on specific benefits). It's essential to verify any potential public coverage you might be eligible for and to always check your private dental insurance details regarding coverage, co-payments, deductibles, and annual maximums before starting treatment.
